Does __copy_to_user() not return the number of bytes still to be copied? The
above seems to add the assumption that __copy_to_user()
can't return part way through a copy.
Yes it does. And this information is useless in userspace.
Returning -EFAULT would be more informative in this case.
I couldn't find an example of kernel code doing this any other way:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__lxr.free-2Delectrons.com_ident-3Fi-3D-5F-5Fcopy-5Fto-5Fuser&d=AwIBaQ&c=IV_clAzoPDE253xZdHuilRgztyh_RiV3wUrLrDQYWSI&r=o_jX-O9t9rDa5QmNKEzuslLxr8l2x1M2rHid0HdzmY4&m=YqOunx1QvC1jz8WjtHd_feWk5cdNWIVW0utSWesR8ag&s=BdRq0di7Bryi1LqA3LtL_Z9UeSHdpiYwghMElfWbR1A&e=
Fair enough. If that's the approach taken elsewhere, then I'm happy for
this to become consistent.
